2. Matt Forte has suffered a high ankle sprain, and will be out a full month.

So, suck.

My primary backup WR, Nate Washington, is also out. My 5th WR slot was originally Kendall Wright, who I dropped for Alshon Jeffery. Well, Jeffery is off the table now because he played on Thursday, and he sucks anyway. So I had to drop him for Kendall Wright again, who is going to get the start in Tennessee. It is looking really, really rough.

My RB position is in dire straights. Mark Ingram gets the carries in New Orleans, but there aren't a lot of carries to get just yet. David Wilson and Ryan Williams are waiting for the starters in front of them to get injured.

So I made a desperation move and picked up DeAngelo Williams, who at least gets a good number of carries, but was discarded to the scrap heap after a freakish game where Carolina refused to run the ball.

My RB position is in dire straights. Mark Ingram gets the carries in New Orleans, but there aren't a lot of carries to get just yet. David Wilson and Ryan Williams are waiting for the starters in front of them to get injured.

Looks like you got your wish with Ahmad Bradshaw going down, but you might have the wrong backup RB.

The fuller stats won't be out until tomorrow, but I'm likely to be the first- or second-most scored-on opponent.

Kendall Wright did what I needed him to do as a one-week rental. Too bad nobody else did.

Forte is out for a month. Dez Bryant flaked. Jared Cook flaked. My defense has only given me 21 total points, despite the fact it faced Ryan Tannehill and Blaine Gabbert.

LeSean McCoy has faced two tough assignments, so maybe things will ease up as we go forward. He's got to stop fumbling, though.

My bench is still laden with injured players and shit backups. Ahmad Bradshaw went down with injury, but the Giants are starting a no name instead of playing David Wilson.

Mark Ingram is getting more carries than any other RB in New Orleans, but runs like shit.

I am still trying to build depth. I have dropped David Wilson for Andre Brown, in the hopes that he gets the carries while Ahmad Bradshaw is out. Mark Ingram and DeAngelo Williams flesh out my bench. But I honestly don't know. I also cut Jared Cook, who has a brutal matchup against the Lions, for Martellus Bennett.

The Giants and Chiefs defense alternate between allowing RBs career days, and shutting them down. And Ingram and Williams are both in timeshares so it's hard to figure who will get the carries and where (though Ingram is NO's goalline back). Andre Brown is running against a relatively soft Panther defensive line, and he'll get the carries since everybody hates David Wilson.

Will be a situation to monitor all week. At this point, I favor Brown.

Well my opponent has yet to pluck a healthy TE. I assume he'll to do that tomorrow morning.

For the longterm health of my team, I continue to look for depth across the board.

I have officially pulled Greg Jennings, and put in Mike Williams, who will surely give me absolutely nothing in return.

Two things to keep my eyes trained on over the next couple of days:

Somebody in my league just dropped Pierre Garcon, probably because he's doubtful. I put in a waiver claim for him, replacing Mike Williams. This league has rolling waivers, meaning it's not assigned to the claiming owner who automatically has the worst record, but instead randomizes throughout the season. So no telling if I'll land him. A pretty savvy owner dropped him today, on Saturday, knowing that Garcon won't come off waivers until Tuesday. So he might just swoop back in and claim him, but Pierre Garcon is a must-get player for depth.

Pierre Thomas is still on the scrap heap. He's outplayed Mark Ingram, and has earned more fantasy points. The questions remain: Ingram gets the goalline work, and he's not as injury prone as Thomas.

Yes, I realize I'm looking to add two players named "Pierre."

I was really happy, obviously, with the output I got from Andre Brown (~25 points) and Martellus Bennett (~13). No owner has made as many fantasy moves as me this year in this league (I'm already at 11), but I basically had to wipe out the entire back end of my roster to improve it:

My backup RBs of David Wilson and Rashad Jennings were supplanted immediately. Andre Brown and DeAngelo Williams are much stronger options.

Mark Ingram is on the short list to get cut soon if Pierre Thomas keeps outplaying him.

The Titans offense has been too awful for me to rely on anybody but Nate Washington, who is now injured. Nate's not terribly good but he gets a ton of targets. Kendall Wright gave me one decent week in a losing effort (his spot is now occupied by Mike Williams and hopefully soon Pierre Garcon).

Jared Cook's not shown to be the kind of red zone threat that Martellus Bennett is.

Big win today. My opponent lined up a shit team and I've managed to top 100 for the second time in three weeks.

Andre Brown makes me feel a ton better about the time Matt Forte will be out. The Giants simply do not trust David Wilson's butterfingers, and Brown is set to get a majority of the carries while Bradshaw is out. I just need Bradshaw to sit out one more week, because it seems Matt Forte is coming back sooner rather than later.

I couldn't afford to wait on Greg Jennings, so I plugged in Mike Williams while Jennings and Washington recover from injury. The kicker: Washington actually played today, and put up very strong numbers. So it was a poor play to put in Williams, but he'll be cut soon as I can either land Pierre Garcon off waivers or some other hot hand off the scrap heap. Doesn't matter, Greg Jennings should be back next week.

And while Matt Ryan was his usual stupendous self, Andrew Luck blew up on my bench. Luck has been a bit disappointing but if the Colts play a shit opponent, Luck can produce. That will come in handy in week 7 when Ryan sits on a bye. The Colts play the Browns that week.

I am thisclose to trading out Mark Ingram for Pierre Thomas. It's almost six of one, half-dozen of the other.

I got some fruits from bringing in Martellus Bennett, even though Jared Cook who I cut for him, had a hell of a game as well. I'm betting on Bennett having more good games than Cook.

Dez Bryant and LeSean McCoy have both had shit seasons so far. I'm just banking on that not being a regular thing.

I put up 160 points in the other league! How about that. Led by Jamaal Charles' 30 points.

Two of the three weeks this season, I've topped 100. My team can score. And I am thisclose to having my roster officially rebuilt.

I have moved up to 6th in the league at 1-2. 4th in scoring.

Next week I have a pretty favorable matchup, but I need to make sure I'm playing the right combination of RBs.

That's a strong output, and if I get both Jennings and Forte back in the next couple of weeks (I anticipate getting Jennings back next week, and Forte back the week after), I should be operating at peak condition come the second half of the season.
